Pittsboro, NC - Bud Marchant, Bill Milholen and Ned Kelly served as the Nominating Committee for the Chatham EDC Board of Directors. There were 13 applicants for the EDC Board of Directors, with 8 positions available. All new applicants were interviewed by the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee recommends reappointment of the following four members:

Al Devine

Jeffrey Starkweather

Dan Sundberg

The Nominating Committee felt that 6 nominees were extraordinary and recommended the following new members:

Rachel Burton

Chris Ehrenfeld

Doug Emmons

Bob Enders

As CEO of Chatham Hospital, Bob Enders could perhaps serve as an Ex-Officio member. This recommended slate enhances diversity of the Board in several respects with two of the six under 40 years of age, another under 50 and two more in their 50s.
